Lesser known movie lines that still communicate plenty:

These all come from old movies. I’d say classic, but that’s debatable among People Who Know More Than We Do for at least one of them. I may not have the quotes word-perfect, but they’re close enough to be recognizable. Who said each, and in what circumstances?

  1. “What, this old thing? I only wear it when I don’t care how I look.”
  2. “Aw, Diz, don’t say it’s a nice name. Say it’s the prettiest name you ever heard.”
  3. “Gray, Ryan. The world is gray.”
  4. “I didn’t want you to be this miserable. A little bit’s all I asked for.”
  5. “Dear Lord, help him to be agittin’ his land.”
  6. “That’s one of my problems–I’m an anorexic spender.”
  7. “Be careful. You’re playing in the big leagues now.”
  8. “Nevertheless.”
